An SMV of -7.8 and the described smooth, sweet mouthfeel point to high sweetness, while 18% alcohol and the stated umami of Miyamanishiki add body. Restrained aroma places it in the jun quadrant.

About

Miyama Nishiki, a representative sake rice of Nagano Prefecture grown under contract with farmers in Matsumoto City, is polished to a rice polishing ratio of 60%. The nigori sake (cloudy, unfiltered sake) is made by coarsely filtering the moromi (fermentation mash), a process that takes four people half a day, and is released in late November. It has the light umami characteristic of Miyama Nishiki in abundance, with a smooth, sweet mouthfeel, making it a bottle that seems you could drink endlessly. This nigori contains nutrients such as vitamin B, protein, and essential amino acids, which support beautiful skin and improve metabolism. It has been well received by women.
